Chuckles re poker. At the very highest levals of poker say no limit with $50/$100 blinds or even a good $40/$80 game bulffing is the primary key to winning. The greatest odds player who cannot bluff will lose his lunch!

Here's my contribution to the fray, FWIW. >>and it is worth what the market says it's worth . But we don't buy stocks for the sake of their present market value; we buy because of the $ increment if the price improves. We are short term speculators. With a warrant you pay less for the same $ increment.... why pay more ?

And this is the difference. I understand koan's example. But that's more theoretical. A more real world application is that a person has a certain amount to invest in his account, say $3,000. He can buy (rounded off for example) either 1,000 shares at $3.00 or 5,000 warrants at $0.60. He doesn't say to himself, "I can invest $3,000 in shares, but I can only invest $600 in warrants (1,000 shares or 1,000 warrants)." Of course not. The big thing about warrants is the leverage.......and 5,000 warrants is a lot more leverage than 1,000 warrants......and it's spending the same as he would have for the 1,000 shares. Not disagreeing with koan on being pro-warrants.....I am pro-warrants. I just don't think his example is as real life practical scenario as spending the same amount of money on one's choice of either shares or warrants.
